Agreed. Updating Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. I'm happy to swap out a spell, but baleful polymorph seems superfluous to a creature with polymorph any object. How about giving it true seeing instead of mirage arcana and swap the Cleric Spells Prepared's true seeing for death ward or...

Yes, I too was thinking of making it Challenge Rating 7 since it's equivalent to two CR 5 lizards. How about making it equivalent to a 7th-level geas with CL 15th and Will save DC 20. Such as? I can't think of anything they need mechanically and am reluctant to invent flavour text that isn't...

Works for me too. Don't care for banishment but greater shadow conjuration is good. For "knock out of combat" applications, don't forcecage or symbol of stunning have more general functionality? Also, these are revered elder statesmen among the Slaiyith so how about a divination spell to...

I thought we were making the Hybrid form's bite do damage as a one size smaller dragon too. That is: Damage: Same as base creature or base dragon, depending on which form the weredragon is using. In hybrid form, the claw attacks have the damage of a dragon of the same size, while the bite, wing...

That's odd. I'm sure I posted a reply but it appears to have vanished. Anyhows, its interior is pretty tough as it has full Natural Armour on its stomach. Also, the swallowed victim only has one round to cut their way out before they're annihilated so the question is, how much chance do we want...

I think the current 2nd-level spells of darkness and hold person have far more utility than death knell so I'd leave them as-is, but change the bane to doom. With a +15 bonus from Acrobatics we don't need that many ranks for respectable modifiers in those skills. I'd rather give it some...

Updating the Caprine Working Draft. So I guess we can put this thread to bed for a while and move on with some other conversions?

Works for me. So which of the two do you prefer, or are you proposing giving the genders different base damage for the slams? The 2E AD&D Monstrous Compendium entries for the monster didn't list a punch damage for the female krakentua, but just says "A male krakentua can attack with his fists...

Updating the Modronoid Working Draft. Yeah, let's keep it a one-to-one link if only for the sake of simplicity. So something like. Linked Modron (Ex): A modronoid's construct parts are implants taken from a base modron that is kept alive in a helpless condition. If either the base modron or...

Works for me. Updating Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. Note we're giving Opal the cleric version of remove curse rather than the sorcerer version (since he can get it a spell level lower using his cleric-as-arcane spell ability). Should I add a note to that effect? Opal is already immune...

Bleak One (CR 7) A small, pale skinned man in dull nondescript clothes with pale, lifeless eyes and a completely hairless bald head. He whispers "The Bleak Shore" and vanishes as if he were never there. This creature is actually an intangible quasi-real illusion similar to the shadow duplicate...

Fine. Updating the Slaiyith Working Draft. Happy with antimagic field but freezing sphere does little for me. How about contingency or legend lore?

The start of that looks fine, but if we give the hybrid form wing & tail attacks I'd treat them as a size smaller than the dragon form.

Will sort that out with the next update… …Updating the Ihagnim. There's no rule about cutting your way free in the original monster. The only method to escape that's mention is applying poison to its interior. So presumably the victim would have to do enough damage to kill the Ihagnim to...

Updating The Keeper of the Key Working Draft with the fighter feats. So you're proposing Improved Initiative, Power Critical (chimes), Rapid Shot, Stand Still and dropping Reckless Offense as an option? That's four feats, so we still need a fifth. I'd lean towards a spell-enhancing feat like...

Agreed. I'd add Search to that list as it has a racial bonus in that skill. So Concentration, Know (nature), Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Perform, Search, Spot, Tumbling. Hmm… suitable comparisons would be: Elf (Int 10): Elves speak Elven, and most also know Common and Sylvan. Dryad (Int...

It would be easier if I just write up a rough draft and we tweak it from there. Will try to whip something up later. EDIT: Got distracted by life. Have to wait 'til later. :ENDEDIT EDITED EDIT: Well I whipped up a first draft! :ENDEDIT

I proposed that to be more-or-less close to the original, which has male tentacles doing 1d4 slam and female tentacles doing 1d8 (so a 2-step difference), while the constriction did 1d10 for males and 2d6 for females (a ½-step difference). Also, I did wonder about making the slam attacks...

Works for me. Have updated the Mystaran Dragonflies collected post. I fancy giving them another Save Proficiency and am leaning towards CON. We also need to decide on Skills. I'm thinking Perception might be enough. Next is Special Traits. I'd like to trim them down from the rather...

Come to think of it, doesn't a Modronoid need some kind of "Modron Link" special quality since if the Modron its parts come from dies the Modronoid dies too. Also, if the Modronoid is killed the link to the donor Modron is broken and all its parts vanish from the Modronoid. Note that the...
